The RSA combines thought leadership with civic innovation to further human progress. Building on our 250 year history as a beacon for enlightenment values, the RSA is currently at an exciting period in its history. We provide platforms for leading experts through the UK’s most ambitious free public lecture series, our projects generate new models for tackling the social challenges of today and we are building on our network of over 27,000 Fellows around the world – these are achievers and influencers from every field with a real commitment to progressive and social change.

One of the RSA’s key educational programmes is the establishment of a “Family of Academies”. The Family of Academies team currently comprises the chief executive of RSA Academies and the communication and business support officer. We are now looking for an RSA Academies intern to work with us for the next six months to support the further development of the RSA Family of Academies. The work will include organising events and for school staff and students, assisting with the development of arrangements to evaluate the impact of our programmes, and work on the new RSA Academies website, as well as providing administrative support to the programme as a whole.

This opportunity would most suit someone with really strong administrative and analytical skills, who has a knowledge of and interest in education policy and improving outcomes for young people. The post is likely to appeal to a self-starter who enjoys variety, and is comfortable with multi-tasking. Sound analytical and communication skills will be necessary. Experience of working directly with teachers, schools and young people would be an advantage, but is not essential.

For all intern roles we would most like to hear from individuals who are committed to the ethos of the RSA and who will benefit strongly from this opportunity.
